Application filed June 2, 1915. Serial 11031360.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, DAVID J. MONAGHAN, ofRochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have inventeda new and useful Garment-Pattermfully set forth in the followingspecification and shown in the accompanying drawings.

The present invention relates to garment patterns and an object of thesame is to provide a simple and inexpensive construc tion which willpermit tailors and others who are not familiar with garment cutting tolay out a garment of any size with all the points thereon accuratelypositioned.

To this and other ends, the invention consistsin certain parts andcombinations of parts all of which will be hereinafter de scribed, thenovel features being pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings, there has been illustrated a number of patternsdesigned for making a coat for a man, Figure 1 being a plan of the frontpattern; Fig. 2 being a plan of the back pattern; Fig. 3 being a plan ofthe undersleeve; Fig. 4 being a plan of the over sleeve; 5 being a planof the collar; Fig. 6 being a section on the line aa, Fig. 5; and Fig. 7being a section on the line b?), Fig. 5.

Each of the patterns is formed from a sheet of cardboard or other stiffflat material into a body portion 1 which has a surrounding guide edgefora marking tool,

such edge including the main points for laying out a garment. This bodyportion is designed for laying out the smallest sized garment and, inorder that the pattern may be utilized for laying out garments of othersizes, each body portion of the pattern carries adjustable members forshifting the main points to correspond with the size of the garment tobe laid out. In this instance, each of these adjustable members is inthe form of a slide 2 secured to the bot: tom portion 1 by two or morerivets 3 which are anchored in the body portion and extend through slotsor guides t in the slides, having heads which overhang the slides.Washers 5 may, if desirable, be interposed between the slides and thebody portion to prevent friction between such parts. Each slide has itsouter end movable and con-- forming to the point on the body portionwhich is to be shifted to obtain the different sized garments and eachslide also is provided with an index line or mark 6 which is adapted tocooperate with a number of divisions 7 formed on the body portion 1 toone side of each slide, said divisions being numbered to correspond withthe different sizes of garments. lVith this arrangement, it is possible'by shifting the slides so that the line 6 on each slide cooperates witha certain'number, to adjust the main points on the pattern to correspondwith a pattern of such number. p

Referring first to the pattern illustrated in Fig. 1, 8 indicates thefront and gore collar point, 9 the gore notch point, 10 the gore andcollar break, 11 the shoulder and gore point, 12 the scye shoulderpoint,'13

the forepart scye and side seam, 14: the waist seam, 15, the spring sideseam, 16 the bottom front edge, 17 the waist front, and 18 the breastfront seam.

Referring next to Fig. 2, where the back pattern is shown, 19 indicates;the bottom,

side seam point, 20 the waist side seam point, 21 the scye and side seampoint, 22 the sleeve scye notch, 23 the back'shoulder and scye point, 24the neck shoulder point, and 25 indicates the neck and center seam.

Referring next to the undersleeve pattern shown in Fig. 3, 26 indicatesthe undersleeve scye point, 27 the elbow seam, and 28 and 29 the sleevelength.

Referring next to Fig. at where the pattern of the oversleeve isindicated, .30 and 31 indicate the sleeve head, 32 the oversleeve scyepoint, 33 the elbow seannand 34: and 35 the sleeve lengtln Referringnext to the collar pattern shown in Fig. 5, 36 and 37 indicate the backpoints, and 38 and 39 the front points.

It will be noted that each of the slides 2 on all of the garments movesso that the point which is carried by said slide can be 'made toregister with the adjacent edge of the body 1 and is adjustable fromsuch point outwardly in the direction in which such point is shifted forgarments of larger sizes, the end of the slide conforming to the body ofthe pattern at the point which is to be shifted. The use will be clearlyseen from Fig. 2 where the slides are shown shifted in dotted lines andthe shape of the larger sized garment is also illustrated in dottedlines at 40. This dotted line 40 is notsketched in by hand but iseffected by bringing the edge of the pattern body 1 to the points whichhave been laid out by shifting the slides on the body portion so thatthe body portion not only serves as a guide for a small sized garmentbut also serves as a guide for any sized garment provided for by thepattern.

A pattern constructed in accordance with this invention is simple in itsoperation and may therefore be used. by tailors and others who are notfamiliar with the ordinary processes of laying out and grading garments.It is only necessary to know the size of the garment to be laid out, theslides being adjusted to such sizeand the points then marked off. Theshape of the garment between such points can then be readily ob- :tainedby! the guiding edge on the body portion 1.

What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A pattern comprising a stiff flat body portion'having a guide edgefor a marking tool, said edge having the main layout points of a smallsized garment included therein, relatively adjustable members on saidbody portion at the main points and each carrying a single main pointfor shifting the main points beyond the marking edge to lay out largergarments, and separate indicating means for each ofsaid members fordetermining the adjustment.

2. A pattern comprising a stifi' fiat body portion having an edge for amarking tool,

3. A pattern comprising a stiff flat body.

portion having an edge for a marking tool, said edge including thereinthe main layout points of a small sized garment, headed rivets on saidbody portion, slotted slides guided by said rivets and each having asingle main layout point at its outer end which is adapted to registerwith a main layout point on the body portion when. the slide is in itsin nermost position and is shifted by the-slide in the direction whichsaidrpoint, would i shift in garments of progressively increas ingsizes, washers surrounding the rivets be tween the slides andv the bodyportion, and indicating means for each slide for determining theadjustment of the slide.
